Eamon's povThe day of reckoning had arrived. The stone circle stood as a solemn arena, the ancient stones weathered by time and bearing witness to countless battles of the past. The air was thick with tension, as if even nature itself held its breath, awaiting the clash of two alphas.Alpha Jack and I stood at opposite ends of the circle, eyeing each other with a deadly mix of anticipation and hostility. The sky above was a canvas of shifting gray clouds, as though the heavens themselves were uncertain of the outcome.The bell rang, its mournful toll echoing through the clearing. The battle had begun.Alpha Jack's eyes bore into mine, filled with a predatory gleam. "Eamon, rest in peace in advance?" he taunted, his voice dripping with malice.I clenched my fists, my heart pounding in my chest. "for someone who's about to die, you talk a lot," I retorted, my voice firm and unwavering.With lightning speed, Alpha Jack lunged, his claws extended like deadly daggers. I barely had time to
Eamon Pov. My body ached, every muscle protesting, as I stumbled back into our pack territory. As I approached, I felt a heavy sense of foreboding. The familiar surroundings seemed different, altered in some unsettling way. My heart sank, as I saw a towering statue of Victor erected in the centre of the packgrounds. This was too quick; He could at least wait to give me a befitting burial first.As I continued my weary walk, my eyes caught sight of Isadora and Lisa. They were standing near a car with suitcases piled at their feet. Isadora’s tear-streaked face turned to me, and without a second thought, she rushed towards me, tears in her eyes and overwhelmed with joy."My love!", she cried, throwing herself into my arms with a tight, passionate hug. Her warmth and presence were a balm to my battered soul, and I held her tightly, as if my life depended on it.Lisa, standing nearby, wore an expression of utter shock and disbelief wrapped around a smile. She had likely expected to never
Eamon povI walked away from the dreadful scene of Victor's death slowly approaching Isadora's chamber, my heart beating a little faster with every step. It's been so long since I had seen Isadora this happy, smiling genuinely in my arms once again, a moment I've dreamt of for so long. I never truly imagined it would come to fulfilment. The thought of having her again in my arms filled me with both excitement and nervousness.As I slowly opened the door to her chamber, I was greeted by the sight of Lisa, who was still busy unpacking their suitcases. She turned to me, her eyes lighting up with surprise."Eamon! You're back, that took a while!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with joy."Isadora's been waiting for you at your alpha quarters. I'll hate to ruin the surprise." Lisa smiled, a twinkle in her eyes. A smile tugged at the corners of my lips. "Is that so? Well, I suppose I should go and see what she has in store for me."I responded, Lisa nodded enthusiastically."You sho
Isadora's POVI watched Eamon as he returned back to the quarters, his mood visibly changed. The vibrant energy he had when he left had faded, replaced by brooding silence. It was as if a dark cloud had settled over him, and it worried me."Eamon, is something wrong?" I asked, my concern evident in my voice.He pushed his food around on his plate, his appetite seemingly vanished. "No, nothing's wrong," he replied, but his words lacked conviction.I leaned in closer, my eyes searching his face. "You can tell me, you know. You don't have to keep things from me."Eamon hesitated, and for a moment, I thought he might open up. But then he shook his head and forced a small smile. "It's really nothing, Isadora. Just a minor pack issue that I need to deal with."I wasn't convinced, but I also didn't want to push him too hard. Instead, I decided to change tactics. "Well, regardless of what's bothering you, you should eat," I said gently. "You need to regain your strength, especially after that
Eamon's POVI sat in my study, my fingers absentmindedly tapping against the wooden surface as I contemplated the mess I had found myself in. The cigarette in my hand seemed to burn endlessly. Deceit and lies, like a noose, were tightening around my neck, and I needed to find a way out, fast.The lady who claimed to be pregnant with my child was a potential disaster waiting to happen, a ticking time bomb that could shatter everything I held dear. I couldn't let Isadora find out about this. Not now, not ever. I had to deal with this scandal quickly.As I took another drag of my cigarette, I couldn't help but recall the night of the bachelor party when I first encountered her. Jake, one of my pack warriors, had introduced us. That conniving snake had a knack for finding trouble, and it seemed he had set me up perfectly.I knew I had to confront Jake, to get to the bottom of this mess before it unraveled completely. I couldn't trust anyone else with this delicate situation. I needed answ
Eamon POVAs the evening sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink, I decided to surprise Isadora with a special date night to make up for lost time and ease the guilt I felt deep within my heart for the constant lies. I had arranged a reservation at one of the finest restaurants on the outskirts of our pack territory, a place known for its exquisite cuisine and romantic ambiance.When I told Isadora about my plans, her eyes sparkled with excitement. She had been cooped up in the pack house for so long, dealing with the stress and drama that had surrounded us. A night out together was just what we both needed.After finishing up some paperwork and getting dressed, I arrived at Isadora's chamber to find her radiant as ever, dressed in a simple yet elegant red gown, a vision of beauty that took my breath away. I couldn't help but smile as I approached her."Isadora, you look absolutely stunning," I said, my voice a low murmur filled with admiration.Her
Isadora's POV"Old friends, huh? More like old lovers, isn't it, Eamon?" The lady uttered, turning around and meeting my gaze with a smirk. A sudden realization washed over me like a tidal wave as I recognized her. She was the woman I had found that night, disheveled and naked with Eamon in the west wing during that party. The shock of recognition ignited a furious rage within me, and before I could think, the words spilled from my lips like molten lava."You!" I seethed, my voice laced with anger. "You're the one I found with him, aren't you? You cheap, dirty whore!" I cursed.She met my furious gaze with a smirk, clearly reveling in the chaos she had stirred. "Guilty as charged, sweetheart, a whore who satisfied your mate in ways you'll never be able to," she retorted, her tone dripping with sarcasm.I could feel my blood boiling, and I stormed toward her, my anger overpowering any restraint I might have had. Without a second thought, I raised my hand and delivered a resounding slap
Eamon's POV:The world around me blurred into a tumultuous whirlwind of rage and despair as I stood there, watching Isadora walk away. Our love lay in ruins, shattered by my own actions. The pain in my heart and soul was crushing, threatening to drown me in a sea of sorrow. I had betrayed the woman I loved, the Luna I had sworn my devotion to, and now, all I was left with was the bitter aftertaste of regret.But amid the self-loathing and anger, another emotion surged within me—rage. It burned through my veins like an uncontrolled wildfire, ready to consume everything in its path. I couldn't bear the thought of Mia, the woman responsible for this chaos, walking away unscathed. The only things restraining me were my upbringing and the knowledge that she was pregnant—laying hands on a she-wolf, let alone a pregnant one, was seen as the ultimate sign of weakness. Still, I vowed that Mia would face the consequences for the turmoil she had unleashed.A furious roar erupted from deep within
Isadora POVIn the months that followed, I enjoyed more peace in my life than I've ever experienced since the day I was born, I know it sounds like a something out of a fairytale but it's the absolute truth, and it was all thanks to Golem's companionship. Life was so much easier around him; he was everything plus even more, more than I could ever ask for and I was head over heels and thankful to the moon goddess.As for Eamon, I never saw or heard from him since that day. It was as if he a whirlwind blew and wiped him off the surface of the earth. He left everything behind—his gold, his Alpha position in the Fire Wolf pack, and the seat belonging to the King of the West was left vacant, he totally abandoned everything.I guess when he said he was changed, he really was telling the truth. But was he truly a changed person? That was one thing I'd never know for certain. With Eamon, you couldn't be so sure, one thing was certain he was lost and trying to find himself just like me.As the
Isadora POVAs Golem was swept up by the revelry, I couldn't shake the feeling of isolation and sadness as I dragged my feet up the stairs to my room, I gazed at the bed, longing for solace.But before I could even take a step toward it, strong arms enveloped me from behind, a hand covering my mouth to stifle any screams. Panic surged through me as a voice whispered urgently in my ear, "Don't scream, Isadora, please."My heart pounded against my chest, fear gripping me as I struggled against the grip. Who was behind me, and what did they want?The voice repeated again, and this time, it sent a jolt of surprise down my spine by its familiarity. The scent, the tone—it couldn't be anyone else.The grip loosened, and I slowly turned around to set eyes on Eamon. Panic surged through me as I struggled against his hold, attempting to scream, but he covered my mouth just in time, pleading with desperation in his eyes."Isadora, come on now," he urged, "we are both adults here, and we both kno
Isadoras POVAfter a little while, a doctor walked in with an image in hand and announced, "The Queen is pregnant with twins."A mix of emotions flooded through me as the doctor's words echoed in the room. Twins? It was beyond anything I could have anticipated. Golem's eyes widened, reflecting a blend of astonishment and joy. He gently squeezed my hand, and a smile broke across his face."Twins, you mean not just one pup but two?" he murmured, almost in disbelief, and then turned to the doctor, "Are they healthy?"The doctor nodded, "Yes, both appear healthy and developing well your highness.""We're going to be parents of twins," Golem exclaimed, his voice filled with awe and happiness.I looked up at him, feeling a surge of love and gratitude. "Yes, we are," I replied, my heart swelling with anticipation for the journey ahead.Golem embraced me, declared at the top of his voice the echoes of his excitement, shaking the Foundation of the hospital ." This calls for celebration".As w
Isadora POVJust as I opened my eyes, they landed on a familiar set of eyes, ones that caused me so much pain in the past, and I had prayed never to set eyes upon again.I pulled out of the embrace with Lisa, and the smile immediately disappeared from my lips. "What are you doing here? I don't remember sending you an invitation," I demanded."Isadora, please forgive me. Give me another chance to make things right with you. I've learned my lesson, and I learned it the hard way," he responded, going on his knees.I glared at him, a mix of anger and disbelief welling up inside me. "Another chance? You don't get to waltz back into my life and ask for another chance, Eamon. You hurt me more than you can imagine," I retorted, my voice firm.Lisa looked between us, visibly uncomfortable, sensing the tension in the air. I took a deep breath, trying to compose myself. "You had your chance, Eamon. It's too late now, I've moved on and you should too" I declared, turning away from him, my focus b
Isadora povWith that, the elder declared, "I now pronounce you king and queen of the South." The crowd erupted into a heavy wave of cheers and celebration.The chief guard and Rodrigo stepped forward, both holding golden crowns customized with the finest blend of gemstones that glittered even in the dark.The elder received the crowns one after the other and placed them on our heads, and then he took my palm and pulled out the ring the Queen, put in my finger the day she crowned me as first lady of the South, With that, he proceeded to insert new set of rings all belonging to the late Queen Golem's mother into my finger, with that he declared, "May your reigns be long, and may the peace between the dragons and the South extend for all eternity."Just as I was about to respond, I felt uncomfortable. As I tried to control myself, I suddenly spat out an unexpected vomited, to my suprise and the surprise of everyone else, who stood still like something outwardly just happened.One of th
Isadora POVAs I entered the main chamber excorted by Lisa and Rodrigo who followed closely behind, I was greeted by a completely different sight, not what I had originally expected to see. The chamber was occupied by a bunch of old women putting on a strange looking similar outfit.I was taken aback by the sight, but just before I could ask what was going on, one of the old ladies approached me and spook in a language I couldn't understand, but she made hand gestures, that felt like she wanted me to take off my clothes.I gasped in shock, wondering why and who they were, turning sideways to exchange a look with the chief guard who now let go of my hand, bowed his head smiling mischievously and exited the room alongside Rodrigo, leaving Lisa and me all alone with the old women, a confusing expression perfectly positioned on my face as I exchanged a glance with Lisa.Apparently, this was customary in the South, reading from the handwritings. I hesitated but understood the significance,
Isadora POVHis sudden change of heart caught me off guard, and for a moment, I stood there, wrapped in his strong embrace, absorbing his words."What?" I stammered, still not entirely comprehending his abrupt shift. "Golem, are you serious?"He held me tighter, looking into my eyes with a sincerity that I hadn't seen before. "Isadora, I'm done running. I want to build a life with you, here in the South. I want a family, and I want it all with you."A mix of emotions flooded through me—relief, joy, and a lingering trace of disbelief. I never expected him to make such a commitment, especially considering his past reluctance. Yet, here he was, declaring his intentions with a conviction that echoed in his voice."But what about your responsibilities as the king of dragons?" I questioned, needing reassurance that this decision wasn't made in haste.Golem brushed a strand of hair from my face, his eyes softening. "I can figure something out. We'll find a way to balance it all. The importan
Golem povHer request for a promise caught me off guard, and I found myself searching for the right words."I don't understand you, Isadora," I began, my voice carrying a hint of confusion. "Where is this coming from? What have I ever done to give you such an impression?"She held her ground, her gaze unwavering. "I love you, Golem, but how can I trust that you won't run away from me? If you can run away from your mother, then who am I?"Hearing her say those words, I was taken aback by a whirlwind of surprise as I took a few steps backward, stunned by her response. The weight of her doubt hit me like a tidal wave, and for a moment, I felt lost in a sea of confusion."You just broke my heart, Isadora," I confessed, my voice carrying a mixture of sadness and vulnerability. With that said, I walked towards the wardrobe, Hearing her say those words, I was taken aback by a whirlwind of surprise. Stunned by her response, I took a few steps backward, struggling to find the right words. "Yo
Isadora POVThe next morning, I woke up in bed, tired and completely drained of strength. The worst part was that I couldn't remember a single thing, and my whole body felt sore.Still dizzy, I rolled around in bed, trying to stretch my body. When I rolled into what felt like a rock, the sleep immediately disappeared from my eyes as I yelled out, "Golem, what are you doing in my bed!"He gave me a puzzled look, a grin playing on his lips as he replied, "Really, Isadora? Really? You actually want me to believe you don't remember a thing that happened between us last night?" A doubtful expression on his face.I shook my head in response, saying, "No, I don't. What happened between us?" I asked as I grabbed the blankets to cover up my naked body.Golem chuckled, leaning in closer with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Well, my forgetful queen, let's just say we explored some new realms of passion and love last night."I blushed, a mix of embarrassment and curiosity in my expression. "You
